  • The gas price increases are what will doom Trump.

    It’s where the consequences will finally hit his base and anyone who could possibly wake up will start to wake up. The more times they have to pay too high of gas prices the more wake up moments they will have.

    Add to this the existing schism on the right with America first vs MAGA there are real angry racists over there that can peel MAGA out to their side. That’s not necessarily good, but the MAGA coalition is currently on a ticking clock towards total collapse.

    What happens post Trump isn’t going to be all flowers and happy times, but it looks right now that the Trump plane is in a nose dive. Maybe they have time to pull up right now, but will they? Anybody’s guess.

    This is only definitional true. People leave cults. People are leaving this cult.

    It’s telling that recent cnn polling has started showing 100% support for the war among MAGA, not 90%. They are getting to this because the 10% that were in the cult but could leave potentially have left.

    Cults also almost routinely fall apart under their own weight. They can do a ton of damage along the way, but structurally they aren’t built to last they are built around an individual. There are exceptions but they are way less common, and MAGA has no structural integrity beyond what Trump says which means it’s quite brittle.



  • A lot of rich people actually try to live a normal looking life. Stealth wealth, and you might never find them until you get invited to their house.

    Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have. They will have things like fancy light fixtures and switches that don’t look totally normal, the furniture will look normal but if you look closer you’ll only find high quality wood construction, tongue and groove, etc. You should also notice things are probably cleaner than a typical house (because regular house cleaner), everything works, and major appliances are newer generally. They are rich so they don’t have to make any budget trade offs.

    These people might have insane net worth and they are trying to down play it because they know how bad it is for them when they are obviously wealthy for so many reasons.

    Ostentatious wealth signals are usually sign of a HENRY or a striver, those people typically aren’t actually wealthy they have a lot of debt.
